The MS in IT program requires students to complete 30 hours of graduate coursework. The first 15 hours provide students with knowledge in core information technologies in leadership, strategic planning, and research. Students can then focus on one area of study to enhance their set of skills and knowledge. These areas of study are Cyber Security and Forensics, Software Development, Social Media, Homeland Security, Health Informatics, and Data Analytics. While concentrations are not required, students may declare and elect to complete courses for up to two concentrations (if they have eligible educational and/or experiential backgrounds). Students not seeking a concentration are considered “generalists”, and concentrations cannot be completed once a student has graduated from the program.
The courses in the program emphasize leadership abilities, critical thinking, problem solving, decision-making, and interpersonal and communication skills. Career success through lifelong learning, professional development, and research is stressed at all levels of the curriculum. The program is designed to produce graduates prepared to take on leadership duties in the field of Information Technology in general as well as in specific work settings such as healthcare and information security.
